Let me fill you in on what Mai Saa Northern spa is all about and why I'm so excited about it.

Mai-saa is an alternative northern traditional spa that incorporates the ancient beauty secrets. It is owned by Hadiza Maina (The most pleasant person ever).

It was really beautiful and thoughtful to see her bring all these northern treatments she grew up watching down to the south.

The best part of the whole thing was the complimentary henna that was given to all guests!!

I can't wait to go back for my spa day after I finish counting my coins, of course. You can view their price list, services and book an appointment on their website Here.

What do you think of traditional spas? Do let me know in the comments you know i always love to hear from you.

Thank you so much for reading.

Don't forget to keep up with me on my social media platforms.

Love always,

Anyhoo, On To The Fooood...

One thing i noticed immediately i drove in was that, majority of their clients were white which actually had me worried. i was hoping i'd at least be able to eat (i don't have a diverse palate - working hard at rectifying that, I promise).

MY Score Sheet:

Price : 4/5 Affordable! This is a plus for a pizza parlour on the island, i hope to return soon.

Ambiance: 5/5 Very very calm. For it to be located in what could probably pass as the busiest part of Lagos, it was really quiet.

Service: 1/5 After all the great reports, the service was terrible! You're left unattended to till you literally 'beg' for attention.

Also, their payment is cash only! took us several minutes to 'convince' them to get a POS machine from their 'sister' restaurant. Regardless, their staff were extremely polite.

Dami's tip:

try to get the best seat before it gets filled up, you're welcome.
Your best bet is the half-in-half pizza. 

have you visited pizze-riah? what do you think?

would you like me to visit more spots? do let me know in the comments, you know i always love to hear from you (or if you want to brunch sometime, let me know).

thank you so much for reading.

love always,

Blogging with a full time job appeared first on Bronzed Out.

From What i've noticed, most bloggers work full time jobs completely unrelated to their various niches.

Hi Everyone and my glazed Lovers,
Happy Wednesday! So, the gloomy weather is back and its really annoying.
I just got the job position at an amazing online fashion brand as a fashion intern and trust me when i say all my hours are taken up, meaning I work during the day and my nights ( and weekends) are taken up with blog related stuff or trying to catch up o my social life thats totally lagging behind.
When i started blogging, I had a lot of free time at home so, it was really easy to achieve that 1-post-a-day mark i made for myself.
Finding the motivation to go ahead and blog after a long stressful day especially with the terrible  daily Lagos traffic can be very frustrating.
Here are three ways to run a blog with a full time job without losing your mind, yes, its possible!

1. Work With Your Schedule
Obviously, The days are taken up by work, I left nights or those long hours in traffic for writing and coming up with blog post ideas.
Now that i've decided to make Bronzed Out more personal style oriented meaning i'd have regular photoshoots and all that good stuff. Its important to incorporate photo shoots, blog posting, link ups, and networking into your daily life finding a way to split the days between play time, blog time and work time.

2. Take Up Blogging As An Hobby - And Enjoy It!
When blogging begins to look like a job when you actually have one, it becomes very overwhelming. Think of your blog and everything as your me-time, be creative, play around, learn new skills, network and socialize, the point is enjoy yourself, darling.
We, bloggers, tend to get carried away by trying to reach a specific amount of  social media followers, page-views and putting up a certain number of times a week which takes away the fun from blogging and turns it into a competition. Set realistic goals and enjoy yourself.


3. Don't Lose Yourself
Life and your happiness superseeds everything else, best believe. I know no matter what you can do, its very important to check in with yourself when you're trying to balance things out your job and blog. Take your time out to be sure if you're happy and not missing out on life. The most important thing to prioritize is your happiness. Remember when you're happy your work will be better.


Do you have a full time job you combine with blogging? What tips work for you? Do let me know in the comments you know i always love to hear from you.
Thanks for reading.
Love Always,
